Level 381 features a crocodile chef wearing a tall hat, framed by an orange border and a wooden cutting board. Strip the surrounding orange background first to uncover the black outlines and green body layers. Avoid deploying Pink boxes early while the cheek pixels remain buried inside the face.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 381 — full solution

  1. Tap Orange 60 (front row, second from left) and Orange 60 (front row, third from left). Their ants clear the outer orange background framing the chef hat and crocodile body, keeping three slots open.
  2. Tap Orange 75 (row 2, far right) and White 30 (front row, far right). White ants target the exposed hat borders while orange ants strip the right edge, freeing slots as the first Orange 60 boxes finish.
  3. Tap Light Green 35 (front row, far left) and Black 30 (row 2, far left). Light green ants strip the outer snout while black ants eat into the newly exposed outer contours, leaving three slots in active use.
  4. Tap Grey 49 (front row, second from left), Green 30 (front row, third from left), and Cyan 50 (front row, far right). Green and light green ants strip the main torso, unblocking the inner apron.
  5. Tap Light Green 42, Green 39, and Black 30. The green ants devour the crocodile's neck and belly while black ants dismantle the jaw outline, exposing the interior apron and cheek.
  6. Tap White 45 (front row, left) and White 35 (row 2, right). White ants strip the apron and lower hat layers, while Black 45 clears the borders around the upper left cutting board area.
  7. Tap Pink 55 (row 3, middle), Green 30, and Black 34 into open slots. Pink ants collect the fully uncovered cheek blush while green and black ants finish the body and background corners.
  8. Release White 4 into the open slot. Its ants carry away the final white hat pixels at the top edge of the board, leaving the canvas completely empty and clearing the level.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping Pink 65 early → the crocodile's pink cheek is trapped deep inside green and black blocks, causing Pink 65 to jam a slot indefinitely.
  • Filling all five slots with body colours before clearing the orange perimeter → ants cannot reach inner green and white blocks, causing an immediate deadlock.

Quick tips for Level 381

  • Always prioritize outer perimeter colours like Orange so that inner outlines and facial features become accessible.
  • Keep at least one slot open whenever revealing a mystery box to avoid an accidental gridlock.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
A 5-slot rack sits in the middle above a stack of ant boxes arranged four across. At the top, the pixel art depicts a green crocodile wearing a white chef's hat, set against an orange background with a wooden cutting board on the upper left.
Goal
Clear all coloured blocks from the pixel picture by feeding ant boxes into the 5 slots until every block is carried away. There is no countdown timer on this level.
Opening
Begin by tapping the front-row Orange 60 boxes. The orange background forms the outermost perimeter of the picture, so orange ants immediately have full access without getting blocked.
Trap
Tapping Pink 65 or Pink 55 early will trap a box in a slot. The pink cheek is entirely embedded beneath the crocodile's green face and black outlines, so pink ants have no exposed blocks until late in the solve.
Mechanic
Exposed edges dictate which colours can be collected. Ants cannot reach interior blocks until the surrounding border and outer layers have been fully stripped.

Level 381 questions

  • What should I tap first on Level 381?

    Tap the front-row Orange 60 boxes. The outer orange background completely encloses the crocodile, so orange blocks are immediately exposed and safe to clear.

  • Why is my Pink box stuck in Level 381?

    The pink cheek pixels are buried beneath the crocodile's light green face and black outline. Never tap Pink until the face pixels around the cheek are cleared.
